Global Beast Mastery: Only I Can See the Hints

“Your Majesty, what hope is there left? Charles hasn’t even recognized the mystical beast of his opponent. He doesn’t know that he’s in absolute danger right now. Once Miles Carter uses his skill, it’s all over!”

“Sigh, just when we managed to make the people of Genosha feel that our nation was becoming strong, with a young genius, a young hero, who could rally the morale of all the people of Genosha, now Kingston has a Beast Master who contracted Cursed Venom!”

“Yes, according to Charles’ previous tactics, there was no issue at all. Miles Carter and Skylar were both being restrained by Charles, and LunaFinn and the others had a great chance of hunting more ferocious beasts. But now, Charles is about to…”

Before the minister could finish speaking, Miles shouted fiercely, “What are you being so pessimistic for? What does Cursed Venom even matter? Charles can handle it!”

“Handle it? Your Majesty, that’s pain that even a Level 7 Beast Master couldn’t endure! Just look at how Miles Carter seems like a corpse right now. You can imagine how terrifying that pain must be!” a minister sighed, shaking his head.

Miles didn’t offer much of an explanation. He recalled what had happened before when Lucas, a Level 9 Beast Master, had personally tested Charles with a trial. He remembered the shock on Lucas’ face. After all, by the end of the trial, Charles’ method of dealing with it had been enough to scare even him!

“Pain? The kind of pain that can make a Level 7 Beast Master faint? Maybe in Charles’ eyes, that’s nothing!” Miles murmured, his gaze fixed firmly on the livestream screen. He couldn’t tell whether the pain from the trial or the pain caused by Miles Carter’s Cursed Venom skill would be worse.

It wasn’t just Miles who still held on to hope. Countless ordinary Genosha citizens, who knew that the pain capable of knocking out a Level 7 Beast Master wasn’t something anyone could endure, wondered—what if it was Charles?

What if it was Charles?

Surely, he could handle it. After all, Charles had already done so many things that seemed impossible to them!

“Charles won’t die! He will make it!” Amidst the barrage of arrogant comments from Kingston viewers, one comment stood out.

Soon, more and more comments expressing belief in Charles began to appear, surprising Flint, the commentator. He hadn’t expected that even in such a situation, so many people were unwilling to face reality. Miles Carter’s upcoming attack had nothing to do with pure strength; it was entirely about how well the Beast Master could endure pain.

The eighteen-year-old genius, the widely recognized hero of Genosha, likely hadn’t gone through many trials in his life. He’d probably been studying in the academy all this time, never facing life-or-death battles. How could someone who had never encountered such suffering endure the kind of pain that could cause even a Level 7 Beast Master to faint?

“It’s not really Charles’ fault. A mystical beast like Cursed Venom is so rare and beyond reason. Even if he’s now a Level 6 Beast Master, there’s probably nothing he could do to change the outcome,” Flint thought to himself quietly.

Watching Charles prepare to attack, though he had already anticipated the result, Flint, as the commentator, continued to explain the situation:

“We can see that Charles hasn’t recognized the Cursed Venom summoned by Miles Carter. He’s about to launch a probing attack. However, it seems like Miles Carter is also preparing a skill.”

“Look! Cursed Venom inside Miles Carter’s body is moving through his flesh. Zoom in a little, and you can see the bulging under his skin—that’s from Cursed Venom. And that’s just the physical side!”

“On a soul level, we can’t observe what kind of pain Miles Carter is enduring right now, but…”

“Wait! Cursed Venom has stopped moving! No, something’s wrong with Charles! He was preparing to attack, but now he’s frozen in place, his body trembling!”

“Could it be that Cursed Venom’s skill has already been activated? There were no flashy lights, no glowing lightsaber strikes—just a silent attack that’s already dealt a potentially lethal blow. Truly, Cursed Venom lives up to its reputation!”

“The outcome of this battle is already decided. Charles is about to…”

Flint’s words suddenly stopped. If anyone had been watching the livestream closely, they would have seen the eighth-level Beast Master, renowned as the God of War from Celestial City, staring in disbelief at the screen showing Charles.

Some viewers hadn’t yet understood what was happening. They were puzzled as to why Flint, who had just been talking about how Charles wouldn’t be able to endure, suddenly fell silent.

It wasn’t until their attention shifted back to Charles that they realized something was wrong.

Although Charles had stopped his attack midway, his body trembling slightly, his face— which should have been twisted with agony—was still calm. His indifferent gaze showed no panic, only a hint of confusion.

What was he confused about?

Had Cursed Venom’s skill not yet activated?

This question surfaced in the minds of countless people as they stared intently at the screen. The live chat in the livestream disappeared in an instant, and everything fell into an eerie silence.

“Is this Cursed Venom’s Link of Suffering?”

Amid the silence, a voice faintly sounded. If listened to carefully, it seemed to carry a hint of confusion and a touch of disappointment.

The feeling was as if an eager viewer had been watching what they thought would be an exciting show, only to find, in the end, that everything was boring and disappointing.

Charles remained incredibly calm and composed, while no one watching this scene could maintain their composure!

“What does this mean? Did Link of Suffering fail? No, I can feel the state of Cursed Venom; it clearly worked! Why did he only tremble slightly and show no other reaction?!”

Miles Carter’s eyes widened in disbelief, and he instinctively took a step back, feeling as though the sky was collapsing around him.

He had used Cursed Venom’s Link of Suffering against enemies more than once, and no one had ever withstood it before—not even Skylar!

When facing Skylar, if he hadn’t interrupted Link of Suffering, Skylar surely wouldn’t have been able to bear it. That was why Skylar, someone who never listened to others and disregarded everyone else, had no objections when it came to him becoming the team leader and commanding the group!

But now?

Miles Carter felt like he was in a dream, but the constant pain in both his body and soul reminded him that everything was real!

Flint’s shock and surprise were no less than Miles Carter’s. His thinking speed was much faster than most, and his sharpness allowed him to notice things that ordinary people couldn’t perceive. It was precisely because of this that he found himself in a state of shock.

“Did Charles just say Link of Suffering from Cursed Venom? Not only did he recognize that the mystical beast Miles Carter summoned was the legendary Cursed Venom, but he also knew the name of Cursed Venom’s skill? And it seems like he even knows the general effect of this skill, which is why he said that?”

“The pain that even a Level 7 Beast Master couldn’t endure… and Charles seems completely fine?” Flint couldn’t help but ask a series of questions, but no one could answer him.

When a Beast Master levels up, their improvements are all-encompassing—not only do they gain enhanced attributes and physical strength, but their mental and spiritual faculties also improve. A regular Level 7 Beast Master should certainly be stronger in this regard compared to an average Level 6 Beast Master.

And Charles? He’s just a Level 5 Beast Master—why is he completely fine?

Flint couldn’t understand it at all. Just moments ago, he had truly believed everything was over. Miles Carter, with a mystical beast like Cursed Venom, was practically cheating. As long as he could make Charles unable to bear it, Genosha would lose one of its top combat forces, and the outcome of the battle would be sealed.

But Charles disagreed. He simply stood quietly in place, and with a tone of mild confusion and disappointment, he said the words that made it impossible for anyone to remain calm.

“Is this Cursed Venom’s Link of Suffering?”

These words echoed in everyone’s mind. Despite the exceptionally calm tone, with no shouting, it felt incredibly domineering, as if someone were facing the ultimate attack from an enemy, simply brushing the dust off their clothes, and then lightly saying, “Is that it?”

“No, it’s impossible, it can’t be. Why does it seem like nothing’s happened to you? No, you must be forcing yourself to hold on, you must be!”

“Psychological warfare, right? You’re clever, really, I even admire your acting, but don’t force it any longer!”

Miles Carter said this in a stuttered, frantic manner. His state of mind, just like his words, was filled with unease and panic, as if someone had shattered his world.

Before Charles could speak, Miles Carter’s body uncontrollably began to squat down, his arms opening wide as he hugged himself tightly, like a wounded, helpless wild animal cub.

On his body, Cursed Venom’s movements became more and more violent, swimming frantically, as if it had gone mad, trying to escape from Miles Carter’s body.

Countless people watched in confusion, not understanding what had just happened.

“No, no, don’t—interrupt the link! Interrupt it! Help, someone, interrupt it!”

“Pain, it hurts, what is this, I can’t take it anymore!”

Miles Carter’s anguished scream sent a chilling breeze through the wilderness, carrying with it a terrifying aura.
